German Cities Can Ban Diesel Cars, Court Rules (cnet.com)

Posted by msmash on Tuesday February 27, 2018 @04:55AM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.

A German court has ruled that cities in Germany are allowed to enact bans on diesel vehicles, Reuters reports. It's unlikely that bans will magically appear across the country overnight, but not everyone in the country is happy about this decision. From a report: Environmentalists might be happy about the possibility of banning some of the road's dirtiest cars, but owners and right-leaning groups are not. Reuters reports that some politicians believe this decision could disenfranchise a large swath of car owners across the country, many of whom likely can't afford to immediately replace a vehicle.

There's nothing stopping you from cycling in the snow. Get some decent tires a good jacket and go for it. According to you you'll have an entire lane to yourself.
There are many things that stopping me: a. lack of a death wish, b. aversion to misery, c. gainful employment with standards on tardiness and appearance.
